Steve Bannon on Democrats

Steve Bannon maintains a strongly adversarial stance toward the Democratic Party, viewing them as the primary component of the entrenched political establishment he opposes. He has previously identified the media as the opposition party, suggesting Democrats are an extension of that same entrenched, cosmopolitan system he aims to counteract with a nationalist movement. During his time as a White House advisor, his policy influence, alongside others, resulted in actions like Executive Order 13769, which restricted travel from several majority-Muslim countries, signaling a direct conflict with typical Democratic platforms on immigration and foreign engagement.

His perspective is framed by a populist-nationalist worldview where Democrats represent the status quo he campaigns against both domestically and globally. The Government Accountability Institute, an organization Bannon chaired, focused its investigations heavily on alleged corruption within the Democratic Party. Furthermore, political opponents, including Democratic House representatives, actively pushed for his removal from the White House, underscoring the high degree of political antagonism between Bannon and the party.
